Reviving history: The Estabrook Park beer garden project

Read any history of Milwaukee and you'll find stories of historic beer gardens established along the Milwaukee River beginning in the 19th century and continuing through prohibition in the early 1900s. These beer gardens were community gathering places, open air picnic areas with a festive family atmosphere. And the Milwaukee County Park System hopes to bring that spirit back to Estabrook, a park with a long, storied history.
